And the tds just goes on and on... Question, how can a marine be such a disgraceful whiner?

First, Marine is always capitalized. Second, it seems to me that the perennial defenders of Trump are the ones that are whining. You just can't take it. So before you take a cheap shot at someone else, look in the mirror first.

What is evident is that the Trumpites have little or nothing to add in rebuttal. So, you depend on personal comments which does not further your argument.

Let me reiterate, for clarity's sake, that white nationalism is not enjoying a resurgence due to Donald Trump's rhetoric and actions, but that Donald Trump is riding an already existing wave of white nationalism that was cresting even before Trump chose to throw his hat into the ring. Let's not put the carriage before the horse . . . .

The two biggest factors are fear of becoming a minority and Trump dog whistling. Even republican senators have said that Trump is racially insensitive.

So does a big chunk of the Democrat party? I can see shades of grey on this issue, but if you want black and white, yes and no, the Democrats are far, far more racist than the entirety of the Republican party.

The majority of Trump supporters say that blacks are less evolved than whites.

I can't stand the sumb*tch, but blaming Trump personally for a rise in white nationalism is analogous to blaming Obama for the riots in Ferguson, or the SEIU storming that attorney's home in suburban Maryland. As distasteful as we may find Trump's rhetoric, or Obama's for that matter, it was those people on the streets that chose to behave in a patently unlawful manner. They may claim to have been influenced by this or that public figure, but at the end of the day they CHOSE to commit those actions. No White House occupant pressed a weapon to their heads and compelled them to do it.

Unless one argues that Homo sapiens is not possessed of free will, and so consequently must be led about and kept on a leash -- like a dog.

That's always been socialism's central failing: the concession that man is at heart a beast manifestly unworthy of a human existence.

Well there is a major red flag with the so called nazi in the OP video. Im not so sure the man in the OP video is actually a Third Reich supporter. First of all legitimate Third Reichers or Hitler admirers do not call themselves Nazis. That guy the so called neo nazi in the OP video has a sign at his property in PA that says "Tommy Robinson" now this is a clear message of support for Robinson. Yet Robinson is pro Israel yet the man CNN interviewed was a supporter of the Third Reich. So either the so called neo nazi did not due his homework or the guy is an actor trying to stir things up.

So the point here is that these so called Nazis might be trolls, who knows what is going on there. CNN could be trying to get more viewers by giving 13 minute segments to some white guy with a swastika on his T shirt. I admire CNN but I also disagree with how at times CNN conducts itself.

That said Brother its under Trump, not Obama, not GWB, certainly not Bill Clinton...but it is under Trump that we have the flag issue, standing for the national anthem. These are continuous issues plaguing the USA...take the NFL. Under Obama sure we had some one off events , but not the continuous issues we have today. Because of Trump, we see Americans flying huge USA flags sometimes even coupled with the CSA symbols on their trucks.

So Trump has not caused a rise in Third Reich support, what can be said is that Trump supporters are being vocal in a way that past conservatives were not as vocal...We do not need to find Trump supporters whom are also "nazis". There are Trump supporters whom do not support the Third Reich but whom are flying CSA flags, whom own CSA memorably, the flag issue has been blown up during Trumps presidency. There are also Trump supporters whom dislike Mexicans, Chinese and Muslims. The aggressive language Trump uses is far different compared to the language Obama and GWB used at rallies.

We did not have the civil rights issues taken up by NFL players until Trump came into office. Had Trump not been elected POTUS, there would be no Colin Kapernick issue. That one is the biggest one, the NFL. Under GWB and Obama, the NFL players were not in an uproar...things were more calm probably because the POTUS at those times did not seek to start a divisive issue.

Regardless of what we think of Obama or Trump under Trump the USA has witnessed more attempts at division then we have in a very long time.

Trump is in a different league compared to all past POTUS. The character and persona of Trump is that of a big time NYC businessman. Trump is the guy from celebrity apprentice. Fwiw I do not hate anyone including President Trump. Trumps words though have done a lot more then you think perhaps and Trump is also the one whom can once and for all put to rest the flag issue and the NFL issues solving those two issues alone would make for a better country.

The survey (which employed a method developed by Kellogg School of Management professor Nour Kteily and colleagues) was administered over the internet......

Since it agrees with what he so desperately wants to believe, he will continue to cite to it.

That and the three PhD's that did it are amateurs in their fields by the CV's, but he does have a point. Trump is likely somewhat racist. So? Half the Democrat party (give or take a few) are too, and that doesn't even mention the out-and-out bigots and haters they have. The Republicans nor Trump hold a candle next to such haters as Keith Ellison or Maxine Waters as but two of dozens upon dozens of Democrats that spew hatred and racism.

My advice is before getting into a p!$$ing contest, you should be sure it won't be you ending up wet. The Democrats and Trump's detractors by extension, really have no ground to be insulting Trump over this issue when their own are far more bigoted than he'll ever be.
